Miami-based R&B/pop group Fifth Harmony have just released the second single, "Angel," from their forthcoming third studio LP, Fifth Harmony.

Their new album, dropping Aug. 25, will be the group's first since parting ways with former fifth member Camila Cabello near the end of last year.

With a bolder, slightly heavier sound than some previous Fifth Harmony releases, the new track continues the group's trend of dipping into hip-hop-inspired waters, as outlined by the lead single "Down," featuring Gucci Mane, which they released back in late May. "Angel" was co-produced by Poo Bear and eight-time GRAMMY winnerSkrillex.

Meanwhile, Cabello is set to release new music with her debut solo album, The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving., due Sept. 22.

Ed Sheeran's three trips to the GRAMMY stage as a performer have each been especially memorable in their own ways. He's sung a duet with Elton John, run a victory lap with his smash-hit "Thinking Out Loud" and, most recently, given a rousing one-man band performance of "Shape Of You."

The Story Of Ed Sheeran's First GRAMMY Performance

The former, Sheeran's first appearance as a performer at the 55th GRAMMY Awards in 2013, came by way of a special request from his mentor John, who envisioned a special duet of Sheeran's Song Of The Year-nominated "The A Team."

"I help manage him, and I believe so much in this guy," John recalls telling the showrunners of Sheeran's talent. "[I said,] 'He's gonna be a huge star. What if I do a duet with 'The A Team'? … And that's how we got Ed onto the GRAMMYs."
